Fear Immune - immunity (Status Effect)

Immune to Feared debuff.

Health Loss - effect (Health/Damage)

The affected target loses a percentage of their health. This is indicated by the decreasing fill level of the health bar. Usually this effect is not immediately fatal. The lost health can recovered by healing, repair, regeneration or life-steal.

Hive Mind - buff (Damage/Damage Reduction)

+25% Damage Penetration, +25% Damage Reduction and +25% SKL. This ability cannot be copied or stolen; doing so will purge it.

Shield-piercing - effect (Shield)

A shield-piercing attack ignores any magical shield like Aegis Shield, Ethereal, Unbridled Rage, as well as Damage Reflection Shields, Unbreakable Heart and Shrouded. In result an Aegis Shield doesn't collapse, Damage Reflection doesn't hurt the attacker, full damage is dealt to the target, and the target can die.

Notes and Tips[]

Iris got patched on the week of 9/10 where the developers-

Clarified Iris' "Watch and Learn" description to clarify that stacks of Intellect cannot be copied.
Fixed the damage typing of Iris' Eyes of the Beholder to be Dark at all times. It was doing Spirit damage at times. Silly Iris...
